Redeemable noncontrolling interests of 35% of the outstanding equity of EnTrust Global, 18% of the outstanding equity of Clarion Partners, and 15% of the outstanding equity of RARE Infrastructure can be put by the holders or called by Legg Mason for settlement at fair value subject to various conditions, including the passage of time.

On July 2, 2018, the corporate minority owner of RARE Infrastructure exercised the put option for its 10% ownership interest. The settlement value of $15,547 was based on the midpoint of the valuations determined by the independent valuation experts appointed by Legg Mason and the corporate minority owner and was paid in October 2018, along with $981 of dividends in arrears. The $12,345 difference between the settlement value and the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest of $27,892 on the settlement date was recorded as an increase to Additional paid-in capital.

On May 10, 2019, Legg Mason purchased the 15% equity interest in RARE Infrastructure held by the firm's management team for total consideration of approximately $22,200, including $2,362 of dividends in arrears. The initial cash payment of $11,967 approximated the related fair market value, along with related dividends in arrears, and was made on May 10, 2019. The balance of approximately $10,100 will be recorded as Compensation and benefits in the quarter ended June 30, 2019, and subject to certain conditions, will be due 50% one year after closing and 50% two years after closing. This purchase was part of our strategic restructuring, as further discussed in Note 17, to pursue operational efficiencies between RARE Infrastructure and ClearBridge that will reduce costs and enhance growth opportunities for both of the businesses.
